The face of the gunban advocates - Jerome McCorry, convicted RAPIST

quote:After reading the article, a Buckeye Firearms Association supporter decided to contact McCorry, the apparent protest organizer, to inform him about the inaccuracies in his statements about firearms (it isn't illegal for private individuals to sell a gun at the show without a background check, people aren't selling M16s or fully-automatic AK47s at Hara Arena, modern sporting rifles are used for hunting, gun shows are rarely used by criminals as a source for guns, rifles [of any type] are used in murders far less than fists or baseball bats, etc.). The supporter quickly found more than he bargained for.

A simple Google search for Jerome McCorry reveals that the man trying to tell the public what weapons they should be allowed to own is a convicted felon.

A total gun ban wouldn't do a rapist any good anyway. There would still be women out there who would have guns illegally and be willing to use them. (How stupid does that sound?!? I can't believe I just typed that!)

One convicted felon hardly constitutes the face of anti-gun activists. (Or, possibly, just maybe, he was completely rehabilitated by our penal system and now recognizes the error of his previous ways. But probably not!)

I guess that would depend upon what definition of assault weapon you use. The 2A is not absolute. People can't just have whatever arms they want. With that said, I don't have a problem with ARs, although it wouldn't much bother me if people only can put 10-20 rounds in them as opposed to 30.
